Hello! I have tomorrow and Friday off and a half day today so I'm going to try to get an app't to have my hair cut and highlighted this afternoon...it really needs it!
We're leaving Friday morning to go to Ramstein AFB to see my brother and enjoy great wonders of the world such as TACO BELL and CHILIS.
QOTD: Besides this weekend, I'm going to London in July and Egypt in August.

Good morning!
Not much is happening round here today. DH got a call from the property management company for our rental, the landlord is sending a crew over to install a new split-system a/c in the bedroom next Tuesday. That was unexpected. I will be so much happier when our lease is signed and I do not have to worry about moving for another year.
QOTD: DH and I are taking a long weekend in Melbourne next month when he has to go up for a conference, but my next real vacation will be in December when I go home for my Dad's retirement party/Christmas and a family reunion cruise in January.
Morning! Today DD and I have a coffee morning to go to so I'm guessing I'll be running around after her to get things out of her reach (she's the oldest baby in our group). Then tonight we're packing the car so we can get out of here tomorrow morning as we're going to the Alsace for the long weekend with DH's parents (my idea, what was I thinking?)
QOTD: my next vacation after this weekend is to Normandy with my parents and grandparents at the end of July i'm super excited but a bit sad as DH won't be coming.
Morning! I started at the film festival yesterday and will be working for the next 13 days. So far it is a lot of fun! No weekend plans unless some hot actor invites me on his yacht after work
QOTD: No plans yet, I've been looking into tickets to Canada, but they are so expensive, I should have booked months ago!

Morning! Not too much going on, just spent the first hour of work waiting for the internet to work, now that it does, i only 4 emails, so it'll be a slow day. Nothing else much.
QOTD: We just booked tickets to Greece and Lebanon for a friend's wedding for the first week of July!
Hello! How is everyone this morning? What are you doing today? Is anyone else off tomorrow and Thursday?
QOTD:
What is your next vacation?
Good morning ladies. I am pissy this morning. Jax was up at 4:45 and refused to go back to sleep until about 5 minutes ago. And of course Leo decided to be up at 6 even though he refused to sleep last night until after 9. FML, seriously.
Leo has gymnastics this morning and then maybe this afternoon we'll hit the park depending on everyone's moods by then.
QOTD: we're going to the UK this weekend to surprise a friend for his birthday. He has absolutely no idea we're coming and is being all pouty with pre-birthday blues... hope we put a smile back on his face when he opens the door to find us there!
DD will come home from MIL's today after being there since Saturday. And DH comes home tonight and is off tomorrow after working in Vienna for 10 days! I'm excited to have help with the kids again.
It's rainy today, so I'll just be doing laundry, cleaning up, and hoping DS will nap without me holding him today so I can actually do those things.
QOTD: We're going to the US in October for my cousin's wedding. DH also has a week off in July and I'd like to go somewhere then, but I don't know where yet.

Good morning!
dulce - it's Ascension Day tomorrow, which is a very sacred holiday in the extremely religious country of Sweden. ha.
I have off tomorrow and Friday, but I have my exams the week after next so I'll have to be studying. I am working the evening shift in the ER tonight, and then I'll be all done with my rotations for this semester! crazy.
QOTD: We are going to the US this summer and stopping in Iceland for 5 days on the way. Can't wait!

Morning! I'm trying to motivate myself to go on a bike ride this morning, then I'll work on my dissertation (hopefully). My aunt and her partner are visiting, so I don't know how much they'll want to chat. In the afternoon everybody but me is going out to do a couple of touristy things, though, so I'll definitely be able to work then.
QOTD: We're going with my parents, brother, and his gf to a lake house in Missouri in June.

Morning! I've just seen DS off on the school bus and DD isn't up yet. I am nesting with a cup of fresh brewed joe. Not much going on today, just relaxing, the last few days have been really hectic. Tomorrow if it dries out will be yard work which is never ending!
QOTD: Hampton Beach, NH in July. We had a fantastic time with the kids last year and I can't wait to go this year. It's a real old seaside town, complete with arcades and fried dough.
dulce - it's Ascension Day tomorrow, which is a very sacred holiday in the extremely religious country of Sweden. ha.
Oh sucky, tomorrow is also Norway's national day so they're getting screwed out of one holiday! I just figured out who you are, btw.
Today I....brace yourselves.....bought a bucket. And some booze. I got a kick out of announcing my big daily activity was Buying a Bucket. I bought said bucket for tomorrow's scrub down of the house, since we're having guests on Friday night. So that's my next 2 days worth of excitement.
QOTD: We've only got day trips planned for the immediate future, but I would like to direct your attention to a thread asking this same question on the Travel board. There is one chick - see if you can guess which - that has my jaw on the ground with her travel plans and shooting daggers of hatred at her because, dude, I want that life. Damn rich people. I AM THE 99%!
I am drinking the obligatory morning coffee, organizing my life and then going to make a required visit to the library and grocery store. I forgot I have guests for dinner and am missing a few key items. I will then return to the house to stare forlornly at my dissertation and the ever-growing pile of books on my floor.
QOTD: This depends on our trip to the consulate this coming week, but if all goes well, after we get done with the work part, we're going to spend two weeks doing an exhausting (but hopefully fun) tour to visit friends in: Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and ending up in Zurich. Just saying that is exhausting. I am also going to try to spend two days in London at the end of June just because I have to be in Oxford for what is turning out to be a lame conference. I wish I had friends in London to go walk around with since that is always what I enjoy the most.
And the weather suckfest continues here... Today is about starting on new music and organizing a studying plan for the next weeks.
QOTD: We're going back to fabulous LV for our anniversary in just a few weeks. Then we might swap places with my BFF who lives in CA and then we have tentative plans to take a trip to Rome in late August. I'm going to have to work in Italy in September anyways.
I was lazy this morning and got up later than usual. It feels good! Not much planned for today. I just have a couple translations to do and then lounge around since I am still without a car and living at my in-law's (who have a maid so I can't even pretend to be busy cleaning or something productive like that ).
QOTD: Our next vacation is the one month motorcycle trip I mentioned in the past. We are making it work, I'm super excited! We leave in June.

Good evening - missed this post. I had a busy, busy day at work...22 days to go! Tonight, if the weather holds, I'll do some lamb chops on the grill (they are currently marinading in the fridge).
QOTD: We're sharing a cottage with a bunch of friends over the Jubilee weekend (first weekend in June).
